ʻO Trigeminal neuralgia kahi maʻi maʻi maʻi.

ʻO ka hapa nui o ka manawa, ʻaʻole ia he kumu i ʻike ʻia a i ʻole kekona paha i kahi kīʻaha koko e kaomi ana i ke aʻalolo trigeminal. ʻO ka lāʻau lapaʻau ka lāʻau i koi mua ʻia. ʻO Carbamazepine (Tegretol®) ka lāʻau i aʻo nui ʻia i kēia maʻi a ua hōʻoia he maikaʻi. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻae maikaʻi ʻole ʻia a hāʻawi ʻole iā ʻoe i nā hopena i makemake ʻia, mai hoʻonāwaliwali, aia kekahi mau lāʻau ʻē aʻe i hiki ke pani a hui pū ʻia paha me ia. Mai kānalua i ke kūkākūkā ʻana me nā kauka like ʻole. He mea nui kou manaʻo a me ka laulima ʻana i ke koho ʻana o ka lāʻau lapaʻau a he kuleana nō e hana i ka kūleʻa o ka lāʻau.

I kahi pākēneka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe, hoʻokumu ʻia ka neuralgia e kahi ʻeha o ke ʻano e like me ka tumo, sclerosis maha, a i ʻole aneurysm. Inā loaʻa ʻole iā ʻoe ka maka o ka helehelena, nā ʻōuli ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o kou alo, a i ʻole ma lalo o ka makahiki 40, ʻoi aku ka makaʻu iā ʻoe e hāʻule i kēia ʻano. E loaʻa i kāu kauka nā kiʻi o kou lolo i lawe ʻia (magnet resonance), no ka mea inā ʻike ʻo ia i kekahi o kēia mau leona, e hoʻohui ʻia kahi lapaʻau kūikawā i nā painkillers i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna.

I kēia mau lā, no laila, nui nā koho kūpono no ka mālama ʻana i ka neuralgia trigeminal. No laila pono ʻoe e mālama i kahi ʻano maikaʻi ke kali nei e loaʻa, me kāu kauka, ka "meaʻai" e hoʻomaha loa ai iā ʻoe!
